I must confess that the Confederation Cup fever that is gripping the country at the present moment has not spared me. Being an ardent soccer fan and a bit player, I find the pull of big names players like Kaka, Torres, Fabregas et al irresistible. The country has proved a capable host of high profile games and I cannot wait to see the juicy clashes between the top 8 soccer nations showcase "sexy" soccer and incredible goals. That is what we fans enjoy most!

There are various protocols that are available for wireless internet connections. This article looks at them, starting with the fastest: 1. HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access, also known as 3.5G) : This is the newest type of 3G mobile network. HSDPA allows the end user to receive data at up to 14.4Mbps. (This is not yet available in South Africa though but we are getting there!) That's as fast or faster than many wired broadband connections. All USB modems sold in South Africa are HSDPA enabled. 2.

The 3G/ HSDPA technology has created an unprecedented revolution in communication. Gone are the days when you had to be at the office, home or anywhere where there was a Telkom line to send and receive emails, do internet banking or just surf the net. The other major disadvantage was that if you did not have a internect connection at home then you could not work outside working hours. Field staff suffered the same limitations.

We are producing some screencast to assist our customers with various technical problems that they come across. One of the main issues customers face is changing their APN if they re-install their software after a machine crash or for some other reason. Our APN is mobile.is.co.za and this needs to be changed in the software. Unfortunately every modem has its own software so it is not the same for all pieces of hardware.

Below is our video cast for changing the APN for the Asus T500.
